The EFFA Guide Course

The EFFA Guide Program was set up in cooperation with Hedmark University College in Norway. EFFA certified Guides have a high standard in knowledge. EFFA certified Guides will get the same tackle discounts as our flycasting instructors do. The EFFA Guide Program covers all that is necessary to provide a client with a good service in order to make them satisfied.

EFFA guides have to know:

how to manage a group at a river or still water

how to tie certain fly patterns and use fly tying materials correctly

how to cast to feeding fish (medium to higher level casting requirements)

where to find fish in a river (reading waters)

what the fish feed on and why (food chain)

how to set up a camp

how to work with GPS equipment

how to save people who have an accident at the water (water rescue course)

...

During the 4 days of the course the participants will get to know everything that is needed to become a successful guide. When they arrive they have to have the knowledge about swimming, CPR, fly tying and fly casting. At the end the participants proof their skills in a test.
